AbakwaNissan baveze iZEOD RC, nemiselwe ukubaleka eLe Mans 24hrs ngo-2014, nto leyo eyenza ibe yimoto yokuqala yomdyarho ekwaziyo ukubaleka umjikelo wesekethe yaseLe Mans eqhutywa ngumbane kuphela.
I-Revolution inokuba lelona gama lilungileyo lokuchaza i-Nissan ZEOD RC, kodwa ngokufanelekileyo sisahluko sesibini soguquko olwaqalwa yiprojekthi yeDeltaWing ngo-2009.
Ekuqaleni yayiyilwe njengesiphakamiso esikhuphisanayo sekamva le-Indycar, emva kokuba ingazange ibe sisiphakamiso esikhethiweyo, iprojekthi yathatha elinye icala elibhekiselele kubuntshatsheli bokunyamezela. Uyilo lwayo olukhethekileyo kwi-hang gliding, luphendule kwiiparamitha ezifunwa yi-Indycar ekufuneni izisombululo ezitsha zokunyusa ukusebenza kakuhle.
Kwisisombululo sokugqibela, sifumana ukufana ngokulula kunye nehlabathi lophapho kunemoto yokhuphiswano eqhelekileyo. Endaweni yokubhenela ku "mega-wings" kunye nabaphangi ukwenza i-downforce, imilo yokugqibela ivumela ukuba umzantsi wemoto uvelise konke ukwehla okuyimfuneko.
Uyilo olugqibeleleyo lweDeltaWing lubonakalisa ngokuyinxenye okwenzekayo kwishishini leemoto, kunye nelokugqibela liyancipha kwaye lincinci ukukhuhlana, ukuphulukana neekhilokhi ukusuka kwesinye isizukulwana ukuya kwesinye, kunye nokutshintshiselana ngee-cubic centimitha ezininzi kwiinjini ezincinci ezitshajiweyo, kunye nayo, ukufikelela okufunekayo. ukusebenza kakuhle.
Ukudibanisa zonke ezi zithako, safumana imoto yomdyarho ngokukhawuleza okanye ngokukhawuleza kunee-Indycars ebifuna ukuzitshintsha, kodwa isebenzisa isiqingatha samafutha kunye namatayara.
I-Nissan kamva ingena kuphuhliso lwale projekthi njengeqabane, inikezela nge-injini ye-DeltaWing eyayiza kufikelela e-Le Mans ngo-2012. I-cylinder encinci ye-4 cylinder ene-supercharged kunye ne-1.6 ilitha nje ihambisa i-300hp. Ukuthandabuza kwakuphezulu, ngenxa yobukhulu bayo obuqulathiweyo, ukunqongophala kwezixhobo ze-aerodynamic kunye namanani athobekileyo amahashe. Kodwa xa iqalisa ukubaleka, yafunyaniswa ukuba iyakhawuleza, nokuba ikhawuleza kakhulu, inamandla okuqhubeka neprototypes enamandla ngakumbi kudidi lwe-LMP2.
Ngelishwa, ngexesha logqatso, iToyota #7 yaphela sele idibene kwangoko neDeltaWing, igubungele imijikelo engama-75 kuphela. Wayeyonwabe kakhulu kuhlelo luka-2012 logqatso lwePetit Le Mans, kwisekethe ye-Road Atlanta, ephumelele indawo yesi-5 egqibeleleyo, ngaphakathi kwendawo ye-LMP2, imijikelo emi-6 kuphela ukusuka kwindawo yokuqala (malunga nama-394 eemitha zizonke kwindawo yokuqala) .
Kwi-2013, i-Nissan yamangala ngokuvakalisa ukulahlwa kobudlelwane bayo kunye ne-DeltaWing, ebangela amathandabuzo amaninzi kunye nokugxeka, ngenxa yokwazisa okugqwesileyo kunye nokuthakazelisa okwenziwe yiDeltaWing, ngaphezu kwayo yonke into entsha yale projekthi.
Ngoku uyasiqonda isizathu. I-ZEOD RC yiDeltaWing yakwaNissan. Esele inike isimangalo seDeltaWing, kunjalo.
NjengeDeltaWing, i-Nissan ZEOD RC igcina injini ye-1.6 Turbo, kodwa ihamba kunye neenjini zombane ezimbini. Ngamanye amazwi, yi-hybrid, kodwa inezinto ezithile ezikhethekileyo. Abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya bakhululekile ukuba bazikhethele ukuba bafuna ukuxhaswa ngeenjini zombane okanye ngenye indlela ngokudityaniswa nenjini yokutsha yangaphakathi.
Ngobuchwephesha obuthatyathwe kuleyo isetyenziswe kwiNissan Leaf Nismo RC, kubandakanywa nenkqubo yokuvuselela iziqhoboshi, phezu kwemijikelo eyi-11 kwaye kuqwalaselwe iindawo zokuqhobosha ezingama-55 abazithethayo, uNissan ubanga ukuba iNissan ZEOD RC iya kuba nako ukugcina amandla awoneleyo ukuze ifikelele kwinqanaba elipheleleyo. ukuya kwisekethe ye-Le Mans kusetyenziswa kuphela ukuqhutywa kombane, nokuba kuthetha ukuba i-300km/h ekufuneka ifikelelwe kwi-Mulsanne ngqo.
I-Nissan ZEOD RC kulindeleke ukuba ikhawuleze kunoomatshini beklasi ye-LMGTE. Ngokunikezelwa kovavanyo lwe-ZEOD RC, kwaye njengesiqhelo e-Le Mans, iya kuhlala kwiGarage 56, igcinelwe izithuthi ezisa itekhnoloji entsha kwiisekethe, njengoko kwenzekile ngeDeltaWing ngo-2012.
UNissan ubanga ukuba i-Nissan ZEOD RC iya kuyivumela ukuba isebenze njengelebhu yokuvavanya itekhnoloji entsha yokungena kweNissan kwixesha elizayo kudidi lwe-LMP1. Ngokungathandabuzekiyo iya kuba yindawo efanelekileyo yokuvavanya imida yazo zonke iteknoloji edibeneyo kwi-Nissan ZEOD RC, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo iya kuba nefuthe kwisizukulwana esilandelayo semoto yombane evela kwaNissan, eneNqabile njengomphathi wayo oqhelekileyo. Kwaye akufanele ukuba yinjongo yogqatso lweemoto leyo? Ukuzama kunye nokuvavanya izisombululo ezitsha ezinokuthi "zingcolise" iimoto zemihla ngemihla, zizenze zibe ngcono?
